Sweet Nothingness by Arthur P. Walker

Note from the poet: Oblivion. Would it feel like the beginning of death and the end of birth? Oblivion became that just that, it is not a circumstance, a feeling, a moment, it is humanity in all of its creation.
Oblivion is the cycle of life.

A place we call home.

A place to feel, discover, dream, be heard and become.

A place of poetry.
